Operating Systems

[linux]

I was wondering what an appropriate programming language would be for creating a simple yet expandable (GUI) operating system. Is it possible in:

Python?
Java?
Perl?
QBASIC?
Ruby?


Thanks!

No.

C, C++, Assembler, maybe ForTran or Pascal, but doubtful. Dec-10's Tops-10 I believe was written in Bliss.

Just wondering as it's virtually the same subject where you would start to build a simple operating system whether it be a GUI or CLI. I'm considering attempting something like this for my degree project.
